*The door creaks open. Behind it is Daniel who looks puzzled by what is taking place.*

Sean: Just a bit of a meet and greet, Daniel. Nothing dangerous.

Daniel: *Nods, but has an expression that says he doesnt quite believe the last bit.* Short haired one, I need to have a word with you.

*Cas and Dean step forward, guessing its one of them.*

Daniel: The human one.

Castiel: I think its best if I accompany you, Dean.

Daniel: This is a private matter, feather boy.

Dean: Ill handle it Cas. Besides, weve dealt with things more dangerous than him. *Goes and steps out into the hall with Daniel.* Alright. What is it you need now, because Im half tempted to start calling favors from you guys.

Daniel: In due time, human, you can call on us for trivial matters.

Dean: Alright, so what is it now?

Daniel: *Suddenly seems awkward and wary.* The tall one. You are the older sibling, correct?

Dean: Sam? Yeah, Im the big brother if thats what you mean.

Daniel: You are on decent terms with him, correct?

Dean: Where is this going? *Confused.*

Daniel: *Irritated.* How. did you get on good terms?

Dean: Look, families have issues all the time. Sam and I, since we hunt together, know that were better off together than apart, because all weve got is each other and wing boy in there. Sure, we have our differences, and our arguments, but we know that if we were apart, itd give our enemies more chances of taking us out.

Daniel: No offense, but that is as helpful to me as knowing the solar system.

Dean: *Looks at him awkwardly.* Whyd you want to know, anyways? I mean, I thought that you guys didnt want our life stories.

Daniel: Because I seem to have had a life decision crisis a few years back, and have been trying ever since to repent for it. Things have not been working in my favor though.

Dean: What, exactly, did you do? It would help me to figure out how to solve this problem of yours.

Daniel: Its a long story summed up by a few sentences. I was jealous of my baby brother, pushed him away for 18 years, ignored him for the next 9 years, then finally decided to pay him a visit to end it, but ended up making him push me away leading to a kidnapping incident; the first one actually.

Dean: That sounds oddly familiar. Spend more time with him. Accompany him on hunts. Save his life. Show him that youre willing to do anything for him. Such as selling your soul to bring him back from the dead.

Daniel: Im not sure if youre aware of this, but Arthur catches criminals and creatures using forensics. Hes not even allowed to handle suspects on his own technically. Hes just a rule breaking punk, and I for one have never partaken in such actions. Its barbaric and unthought of for my upbringing.

Dean: I did say anything, didnt I? *Starts walking away.* Look, as much as Id love to help, just try talking with him. *Turns around to look at Daniel.* Youd be amazed by how much just talking can help.

Daniel: *Frowns.* Of course Ive tried something as simple as talking. *Sighs.* I guess 22 years was just too long. Can you tell me one more thing?

Dean: *Slowly closes and opens his eyes. Turns back around.* What?

Daniel: Did Sean or Artie ever hint at what kind of relation they have?

Dean: It confuses me as well, but from what I know, it looks like Artie saved Seans life.

Daniel: Yes; were all aware of the mentally confused troll using my mentally confused brother as a reason to live. I just want to be aware if hes taking advantage of my brother.

Dean: It dont seem like he is, but Ill keep my eyes out anyway.

Daniel: All right. Was that venom in there?

Dean: *Hesitates.* Yeah. If you want to fix things between you and your brother, I suggest that you dont press the matter though.

Daniel: That stuff is dangerous for him to be near. I have half a thought to kick the shit out of Sean for even having it in the same room as Arthur.

Dean: *Sighs.* I know that Im gonna regret this. It is Arthurs!

Daniel: *Eyes widen.* Theres venom in my brother?

Dean: *Mutters unintelligibly.* Damn it! *Falls silent.*

Daniel: *Horrified.* How much is in him? Tell me right now, damn it!

Dean: I told you not to press the matter!

Daniel: Do you even know how dangerous it is!?

Dean: I know exactly how bad it is.

Daniel: Then you know that at a certain point removing it becomes catastrophic to the body and can destroy the recipient's mind, or what little is left!

Dean: *Refuses to speak.*

Daniel: Exactly. *Heads for the door to the room Sean, Sam, Artie, Saraid, Kalix and Cas are in.*

Dean: *Quickly snatches onto the neck of Daniels shirt.* Calm down! *Says forcefully.* Im gonna warn you right now; dont press, because you wont like what you find out. Once you find out, there wont be any turning back. Ive been down a similar road with Sam. Ill be the first to admit that I wasnt happy with what he was doing, but I can tell you that going in there and exploding wont solve anything between you and Artie.

Daniel: Sometimes sacrifices need to be made so the young ones get a lesson! Im tired of that little lunatic being reckless, and this just takes it a step too far!

Dean: Fine then. Dont say that I didnt warn you. *Lets go. Texts Sam.* 'Incoming, get out of there.' *Realizes that he meant to say that it was Saraids venom.* Shit, what did I just do?
